[Bug 1373645] Re: Logitech wireless mouse periodically loses correct click behaviour

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Darren Long, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z87IPRO/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your BIOS is available (0907). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

- I have reported this bug as a result of responses to my post on Bug
- #1371853.  I first noticed this issue on Friday 19th September 2014.
- 
- My logitech cordless mouse suddenly started behaving very oddly in
- 14.04..  The machine had been running for over a week , but without much
- use for that working week (Mon-Fri) until I plugged in my new X-Box 360
- controller and attempted to configure my TV as a 2nd screen for a gaming
- session.
- 
- I then found that, at some times, mouse clicks didn't seem to be
- registering with the system as expected. Switching virtual desktops
- backwards and forwards seemed to restore some ability to click with
- results, but this would bring only temporary relief. I didn't see
- anything noteworthy in the dmesg output.

  The same symptoms were observed using either my desktop monitor, the TV
- or both in a dual screen configuration.  The problem survived
- disconnection of the USB wireless receiver and power cycling of the
- mouse, and also across reboots.

  At one point I noticed that the mouse focus seemed to have become
  incoherent, in that left clicking in the search window in Firefox
  produced a text insertion caret there, but keyboard text appeared in the
  console that had previously had mouse focus.
  
- I soon found that a wired USB mouse worked OK, googled for clues for a
- few days and then found Bug #1371853 which prompted me to file
- something.
- 
- I have been using 14.04 for some months now without any related issues.
- This machine is normally in fairly heavy daily use, but during the
- weekdays Monday 15th Sept 2014 through to Friday 19th Semptember 2014
- had only had light use during which I might have not have noticed this
- issue.  I definitely didn't experience it before plugging in the
- XBOX-360 controller for the first time on Friday 19th and noticed it
- within a few minutes of that.
- 
- I have since confirmed that disconnecting the XBOX-360 controller
- doesn't stop the issue once it has started.  I have also confirmed that
- the issue can still arise after rebooting with the XBOX-360 controller
- disconnected.  Whether the XBOX-360 controller is at all relevant or
- not, I do not know.
- 
- For now, I have adopted the wired USB mouse workaround.
+ WORKAROUND: Use a wired mouse.
